'No taxes' pledge has ruined economy

By now, I am sure everyone is familiar with the Koch brothers, Grover Norquist and Karl Rove. They are the money men who own every single Republican House member, at least financially. Rove just eliminated any possible future fair candidate, because they won't sign a rich man's lifetime pledge to not raise taxes. Even Ronald Reagan hiked taxes 11 times, which shows not all Republicans are rich man's pawns.

We have not raised taxes in 20 years and the super rich, without lifting a finger or having to compete or create a job, have had their profits soar (tax cuts and loopholes), while the average person has had to fight for survival. They have ruined our country's economy and split the Republican party in two. What good is a political party if it can't agree amongst itself (tea party split)?

The biggest lie told to Americans since the "iraq has weapons of mass destruction lie" is the lie that you can only lower taxes (never raise) on the job creators. This lie has gotten us to zero decent job growth. Where are these jobs?
